I guess the argument would go that we would be better off building small quantities of long-lasting re-usable furniture, rather than building and throwing away lots of new cheaper furniture

The low prices at Ikea and others definitely encourage over-consumption - buying a new table instead of restoring an old one for example

Personally I don't necessarily subscribe to this argument, I think that we can focus on bigger sources of pollution/waste than transporting flatpack lumber, but I can see the argument
Meanwhile, in Romania, IKEA owned (through "Vastint") Băneasa Forest is being redeveloped into a 476k sqm (118 acres) residential area. My point here is, once they own the forest, they may choose to redevelop it any any time.

What I find the most painful is that you can't rely on much to decrease accidental complexity.

A couple of years ago I settled on the JavaScript Dojo Framework. It was the most solid framework available, but then AngularJS came out, and it had some very compelling arguments on it's side.

So I moved over to AngularJS, being happy that there finally a good, modern solutions to many problems.

Then Angular 2 came. Then AngularJS 1.x stopped being updated. Angular 2 was nowhere near what I needed, so I had to find an alternative.

I switched to Vue, being really happy about it. Now I'm finding myself in the transition to Vue3, where frameworks like Quasar still need to get ported and it is unclear what will happen to all the code I already wrote.

Or Python2 vs Python3.

All this progress makes me feel burned out, barely having time to tackle the actual problem to be solved.

As others have noted, this is a global problem, not just Chinese.

The version that is more difficult to detect is when a cabal of colleagues agree to push each others' papers in this way. So editor A says "you should really quote authors B, C and D." And somewhere else, editor B is saying "you should really quote authors A, C and D."

Machine learning might be a way to tackle this at scale, by teasing out these associations. Of course, this relies on a degree of transparency. Some journals publish all editors' comments and all revisions of a paper. This is a Good Thing, but humans aren't reading all published research, let alone all the meta data.

If someone with relevant ML skills wants to address this, and fancies starting a project, do get in touch :)

A note on the Chinese insinuations that have been mentioned: As always, it's a bit more complex. There may well be reasons that some states might sponsor or 'encourage' gaming of intellectual institutions. If the world is viewed as a zero-sum game, and the currency is power, this unfortunately seems inevitable. Science tends away from this and towards collaboration, but 'politics' often seems to tend toward competition. I've seen university heads explicitly declare to all staff how they intend to game the national rankings, and nobody bats an eyelid, it's business as usual. It's daft and harmful, and frankly I think it requires hard effort from idealistic grassroots activists to address it. Societal improvements are often won through struggle, they're not given away, they don't happen by incremental evolution.
It's a cool concept. I do think the physics do need a bit more work though. Usually with latte art the way you hold the cup and where you enter the milk plays a large role in the final outcome. So the 2D variant can't really capture that.

But I still like how the milk flows and I love seeing projects like these on the internet.
Well, just because they're producing something useful doesn't mean they can't give back at the same time! Small changes add up.
Well several things. The M1 does not have 8 equally performant cores. The M1 has only 4 of those who are faster in single core performance. Also it performs at 10W, not at 15W and does so without a fan (in the case of the MacBook Air). Hence I don't know if your comparison makes sense.

> WebAssembly, or as I like to call it, reinventing the wheel while simultaneously and conveniently blocking ad-blockers.

This meme needs to die.

WebAssembly doesn't prevent ad blocking at all. Ad blocking relies on blocking network requests for the most part, which can still absolutely be blocked when done by WASM.

Some ad blockers also optionally relies on removing DOM nodes for greater coverage. It's important to note that this technique is used to reduce visual clutter, but doesn't prevent tracking, and doesn't increase browsing performance as the ad still gets downloaded before being removed.

Yes, a purely canvas-based app could work around DOM blocking, but WASM has nothing to do with it: you can do pure canvas-based UIs in javascript too, that's what all the modern web games do.
There seems to be a misconception that Ikea is all cheap composite. It's really not true, they cover a wide range, and they have full-wood models for nearly all product categories

Obviously most people buy the cheap stuff, but that's the case of any low/medium end furniture chain really

I think this is not as easy a calculus as one might imagine.

Heirloom furniture is in some ways less sustainable than Ikea products. I am not sure there would be enough sustainable hardwood in the world to meet demand at the scale of Ikea.

People have different furniture needs than they did decades ago, and in terms of weight, logistics, material use, Ikea are quite efficient.
Yet they're buying shady wood from countries in the Eastern Block in Europe.

Ikea has been buying large pieces of land in rainforest for years. Why? It can come in handy one day to be able to break the newspapers about how Ikea is saving the rainforest. Especially if shit hits the fan and the newspapers starts publishing bad news about Ikea.
well, in first place Brazil (or Peru, Suriname, etc) should be wanting to sell or rent it. Which they aren't. Second, it won't help to buy or rent it if there is no control in the region. Third, Europe together with China are the biggest market of illegal wood. France has a high military presence on the French Guyana, and they could definitely pass intelligence to some navy to catch the boats leaving Brazil/Suriname towards Europe. So it's not matter of who owns it but if all nations actually want to fight the black market around illegal wood and biopiracy, which they clearly don't want.

For bricklayers, electricians and mechanics and other artisans all they have to do to prove their worth is point: look the wall stands, the lights come on, the engine starts.

It's really not a correct model even at the scale of the phenomena for which it is correct, that's why it can't explain what's beyond its scale, nor can anyone draw a line to clearly define the boundaries of the scale in which it is correct. I'm afraid I don't have a more profound argument than that. The math of Newtonian physics merely coincides with what's actually going on in reality, but what's actually going on in reality is as explained by Einsteinian physics. We're only keeping Newtonian physics around because it's close enough as an approximation of natural phenomenon and therefore it is pragmatic, but pragmatic does not mean correct and it remains an estimation nonetheless. It's not the correct model of what's actually going on.

> Hard to bear that idea when we got where we are now because of technology.

s/technology/business/. Technology doesn't have a mind of its own. Yes, it can be more conductive to good (vaccines) or bad (fighter jets), or neutral (knives), but it doesn't go out there doing things on its own, it doesn't hurt or disenfranchise people through its own existence, it doesn't pollute the Earth by virtue of being pictured on a blueprint.

No, it's people making these decisions to commission and use particular technologies for ill. Sometimes they make them in full understanding of the bad consequences. Sometimes they only learn too late, but they still make a decision to not retract the use of a technology.

Technology is a red herring. The real issue is the usual problem of people being selfish, living in a system that doesn't regulate the selfishness away, but instead amplifies it, consequences be damned.

1. Why, with good tools available?

2. Can't they at least fix typos quickly?

3. I still regularly see trivial grammar errors (repeated words, etc) in opinion pieces on the Guardian, not just breaking news and liveblogs. I guess some of those opinions pieces might be treated as "fast-turnaround journalism", AKA "hot takes". The rate of simple typos there makes me wonder about more important things like factual accuracy.

Edit to add: reading the article more closely, it sounds like they've only started using this new system quite recently, so hopefully it will help them improve. I stand by my opinion that in recent years the rate of typos and grammar errors has been higher on the Guardian than most other comparable news sites.
A handsome sum of money, but it's distributed over a lot of people.

As a crude US-scale example, imagine that a hundred million people vote about the allocation of a trillion dollars. Each vote allocates 1e12 / 1e8 = $10,000. So voting is clearly worth it.

But that $10,000 doesn't end up with the voter, it ends up diffused across all of society. $10,000 is the society-wide payoff of your vote. Your individual payoff of your own vote is only 1e4 / 1e8 = $0.0001. Your vote barely affects yourself.

So there's an altruistic payoff to voting, but not any egoistic payoff to speak of. And we're specifically talking about individual reward here.
The complication is EXACTLY why we need to be even more in panic and hair-on-fire about environmental issues. A colleague did some analyses for the life cycle emissions of refrigerants. The complexity in the process was absurd, and basically intractable without simplifications. How much indirect CO2 emissions are caused by an inefficient compressor? How much does it depend on how you generate electricity? Which country were the gaskets manufactured in? What was the process used to extract the rare earths? Everything depends on everything else and consequences are pretty unknown.
But they weren't suggesting individual purchases. A very large group doing a very large purchase can buy cost-effective security.
Unless they plan on cutting the forest down, replanting everything anew and BURYING the chopped wood, they are not really helping. CO2 already in trees doesn't quickly return to the atmosphere if wood is used for long lasting things. Now, IKEA is known to do the opposite...

I know it's counter-intuitive, but it's *almost* better for the environment to NOT recycle paper and bury it in landfills. We're essentially reversing the process of extracting oil.
> This smells like some really bold and really ridiculous PR attempt.

Of course it is, they just use illegal loggers in Romania to offset their actual need for the crappy disposable stuff they produce. They seem to get away with that no problem, despite EU restrictions on it.

I've never seen the appeal of IKEA when it came to furniture, the long lines at some of the bigger ones I've been to (for breakfast) are baffling and you'd think they were giving the stuff away given how long some people would wait to get in. It all looks and feels so cheap, it looks like what they use when staging a home for sale or what a cheap studio set looks like for a 1 shot scene in a movie.

IKEA had to settle so many wrongful infant deaths in the US, something that arguably could have been prevented by the parents, but it doesn't undo the fact that it comes down to a sub-standard QC/QA practices and literately no engineering in their design team. But, IKEA (now a Dutch company not Swedish despite its branding) is the China of furniture and focuses on that business model: cheap, disposable items that are profitable only at immense scale.

> Well, just because they're producing something useful doesn't mean they can't give back at the same time! Small changes add up.

Ha, useful... I'm guessing you've never lived near a University. the amount of IKEA crap that shows up in the dumpsters near off campus apartments at the end of the term is enough to make you forget about the word 'useful' when describing IKEA ever again. I've spent most of my time near Universities in the US, and its always the same crap littering the area after finals. The cheap plywood gets warped if it snows outside so most of its damaged beyond repair for even 2nd hand use. I wanted some night stands to use as in the garage for my tools once when I was in HS and was willing to do some repair work, but after dragging the thing a block it literately fell apart and the plywood had disintegrated and warped beyond use.

Not implying that this is corporate propaganda to cater to the US public, but something similar happened to my country where saving the planet is not on the agenda of its citizens since there are other problems that need to be solved first. [1]

"IKEA’s goal is to purchase wood which is 100 per cent FSC-certified from these countries. At the same time there are many indications that forests with high conservation values are being logged by FSC-certified companies. FSC-certification is far from a guarantee for socially- and environmentally friendly forestry and FSC has received serious criticism from many environmental organizations, both in Sweden and internationally. Several environmental organizations have left FSC in protest. " [2]

So practically, you have a situation where IKEA acts on some shady rules established by this FCS that are unreliable. Moreover, countries with corrupt officials will eventually end up in prison but too late, before the harm is done. Generally, if as a Romanian I go outside to protest against IKEA and corrupt politicians exploiting the Carpathians, I'm told that I don't respect private property and that IKEA acts according to the laws of that country (created by corrupt policians with shady lobbies), in the end IKEA becomes the victim.

The most indisputable proof to me of our nonprofit and charity systems being complete bullshit has always been the fact that IKEA is a nonprofit "to promote better interior design".

"splitting it up" is only accidental complexity if one splits things up in services. If one has a monolith I would argue that "splitting it up", in that case known as 'improving coherence' and 'reducing dependency' is much easier and falls under essential complexity.

Generally, I would say that tools are a very big part of it. One example. Why did we go from svn to git again? O yes, git can do so much more. But now you actually have to do all of these 'so much more' things. This gives you a very beautiful commit history if you do it well but is a very beautiful commit history really that important? You tell me.... maybe it is and maybe it isn't and maybe it depends on the nature of the project....

Because this is about websites, not companies. I'm not a company. Do my website use a different regulated subset of JavaScript than yours? If it is a company do they follow local rules or local for the hosting company? What about sites that incorporate sources from different locations? Do JavaScript library developers now have to create a version of their script for each countries regulation? Then the US regulation will decide the rules for all of the worlds JavaScript development and deployment. No, which technologies that can be used on a website doesn't belong at regulators but developers. What can and cannot be tracked and collected belongs at regulators.
> Aren't those peaces of furniture made of composite materials and those not so sturdy shelves.

I'd gladly invite to my study, which is decorated using IKEA Galant (office) furniture. Every item in the set is high density wood composite and tables are built upon steel structures. They would outlast my children easily if they're not abused on purpose.

Or my Kitchen, which is again built by IKEA with high density composite and its workmanship made a good carpenter jealous.

If you want top of the line items in a category, look for "Stockholm" series.
> A very large group doing a very large purchase can buy cost-effective security.

That really depends on how much they want the security. People defend territory all the time. It's very, very expensive to do that -- have a look at some city walls -- but it's cost-effective because they are using the territory.

But no, no matter how large the group, they cannot buy cost-effective security for their giant stretch of wilderness if their plan for it is "don't use it" and there are other people who do have a use for it. Compare American government efforts to stop people from using land to grow marijuana. Is the problem that the American government just isn't big enough?
They have pieces that aren’t particle board. These pieces are the lowest quality pine they could find. It’s super soft so it’s very easy to put a dent in and it’s not particularly well protected either so you end up throwing it away after a while as well. Maybe not as soon as the particle board junk but not much later either.

Ikea used to be well made and decent quality 20 years ago. It all went downhill from there and now most of their furniture gets damaged by just looking at it.
